BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to amino alcohol derivatives having excellent immune suppression activity, pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof, esters thereof or other derivatives thereof; to pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds as an active ingredient; to the use of said compounds in the preparation of said pharmaceutical compositions; and to methods for prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases, which comprise administering a pharmacologically effective amount of said compound to warm blooded animals in need of such prevention or treatment.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to optically active novel amino alcohol derivatives (particularly, optically active 4,4-disubstituted oxazolidin-2-one derivatives), which are useful synthetic intermediates for the preparation of said amino alcohol derivatives or other medicaments.

In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a novel processes for the excellent selective preparation of optically active 2-substituted 2-amino-1,3-propanediol mono-ester derivatives, which are useful synthetic intermediates for the preparation of said amino alcohol derivatives in optically active form.

Steroids or antiinflammatory drugs have been used as therapeutic agents for inflammatory responses caused by abnormal immunological responses in diseases related to the immune system such as rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. However, these agents are agents that improve the symptoms, but they do not provide treatment of the causes.

Although abnormal immunological responses have also been reported to contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and nephritis [Kidney International, 51, 94 (1997); Journal of Immunology, 157, 4691 (1996)], no agents have ever been developed to improve the abnormal immunological responses.

On the other hand, development of immune suppressors is important for prevention of immunological rejection occurring in organ transplantation or for the prevention or therapy of autoimmune diseases. Nevertheless, well known immunosuppressors such as cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus (TRL) are known to cause renal toxicity or hepatotoxicity. Although steroids have been administered together with immunosuppressors in order to decrease such adverse effects of the immunosuppressors, the immunosuppressing effects could not be satisfactorily elicited without the adverse events.

From these backgrounds, many attempts have been made to find compounds exerting excellent immunosuppressing effects with low toxicity.

The following compounds are known as immunosuppressive agents:

-   (1) In the specification of WO94/08943 (EP627406) compounds of     formula (a) are disclosed as immunosuppressive agents,     wherein R is a straight or branched carbon chain which may have, in     the chain, a group selected from the group consisting of a double     bond, a triple bond, oxygen atom, sulfur atom, —N(R⁶)—(wherein R⁶ is     a hydrogen atom), optionally substituted arylene, optionally     substituted heteroarylene or the like, and which may be substituted,     at the chain end thereof, by optionally substituted aryl, optionally     substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl or the     like; and R², R³, R⁴, R⁵ are the same or different and each     represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or the like.

The compounds of formula (a) have two oxymethyl groups (—CH₂OR⁴ and —CH₂OR⁵) as essential groups. The compounds of the present invention, however, have a —CH₂OR³ group and a lower alkyl group and are different from the compounds of formula (a) in these substituents.

In said specification no typical compounds similar to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention are disclosed at all. Only the following two compounds of the compounds of formula (a) are highly similar in chemical structure to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention:

-   (2) In the specification of WO96/06068 compounds of formula (b) are     disclosed as immunosuppressive agents,     wherein R¹, R² and R³ each are a hydrogen atom or the like; W is a     hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or the like; Z is a single bond or an     alkylene group; X is a hydrogen atom or an alkoxy group; Y is a     hydrogen atom, an alkyl, alkoxy, acyl, acyloxy, amino, acylamino     group or the like.

The compounds of formula (b) essentially have a phenyl group as a basic skeleton. The compounds of formula (I) in the present invention have a thiophene group instead of the phenyl group of compounds of formula (b) and are different from the compounds of formula (b) in the basic skeleton.

In said specification no typical compounds similar to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention are disclosed at all. Only the following three compounds of the compounds of formula (b) are highly similar in chemical structure to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention:

-   (3) In the specification of WO98/45249 compounds of formula (c) are     disclosed as immunosuppressive agents,     wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴ are the same or different and each represent     a hydrogen atom or an acyl group.

The compounds of formula (c) have two oxymethyl groups (—CH₂OR³ and —CH₂OR⁴) as essential substituent groups. The compounds of the present invention have a —CH₂OR³ group and a lower alkyl group and are different from the compounds of formula (a) in these substituents. The compounds of formula (c) have a phenyl group between —(CH₂)₂— and —CO(CH₂)₄— as a basic skeleton. The compounds of formula (I) in the present invention have a thiophene group instead of the phenyl group of the compounds of formula (c). The present compounds of formula (I) are also different from the compounds of formula (c) in the basic skeleton. The compounds of formula (c) have only a phenyl group at the end of —CO—(CH₂)₄— group. The compounds of formula (I) in the present invention may have a phenyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a heterocyclic group at the end of the molecule.

In said specification no typical compounds similar in chemical structure to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention are disclosed at all. Only the following three compounds of the compounds of formula (c) are highly similar in chemical structure to the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention:

On the other hand, various optically active substituted amino acid and substituted amino alcohol derivatives (particularly α-substituted amino acid and α-substituted amino alcohol derivatives) exhibit biological activity; are partial components of natural products and pharmaceutical agents; and are important synthetic intermediates. For example, α-methyl-α-vinyl amino acids are useful as an amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor; α-ethynyl-α-methyl amino acids are useful as a glutamic acid decarboxylase inhibitor; ISP-1 (Myriocin), which is isolated from metabolites of Isalia sinclairii, has immune suppression activity; and Conagenine and the like participate in the regulation of immune response through T-cells. From these results, α-substituted amino acid and amino alcohol derivatives are very interesting compounds as a partial component of natural products having biological activity, in the field of biochemistry and in the field of organic synthesis.

These α-substituted amino acid and amino alcohol derivatives have an asymmetric center(s) and an efficient process for the preparation of one enantiomer thereof has been expected.

There are a few reports of processes for the preparation of optically active substituted amino acid and amino alcohol derivatives and a few reports of synthetic examples of optically active amino alcohol derivatives such as optically active 4,4-disubstituted oxazolizin-2-one derivatives, which are useful synthetic intermediates of optically active substituted amino acid and amino alcohol derivatives described hereinbefore. For example, there are reports by C. Cativiela et al., Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 9, 3517 (1998) and Synthesis of Optically active α-amino acids (Pergamon Press) R. M. Williams et al and the methods are largely classified into two groups for preparation of them. The one is a diasteroselective alkylation method using an assisting group for asymmetric synthesis, a typical example being a method described by Seebach in Helv. Chim. Acta., 71, 224 (1988) or the synthesis of α-substituted serine derivatives which are obtained by a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction using chiral bis-lactam ether carboxylic acid esters and Mg(II) and Sn(II) type Lewis acids described by Nagao and Sano et al. in Tetrahedron Lett., 36, 2097 (1995) and Tetrahedron Lett., 36, 4101 (1995). The other one is a synthesis of α-substituted serine derivatives which are obtained by enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis of prochiral σ-symmetry diester compounds (α-substituted-α-protected malonic acid diesters) and is described by Nagao, Tamai et al., in Chemistry Lett., 239 (1989) and Chemistry Lett., 2381 (1994).

The former method has multi-step reactions and needs a stoichiometric asymmetric source. The latter method has a reduction step and cannot be used when a compound has a group unstable under reduction conditions.

There are some reports described hereinbefore but, however the practically useful methods are limited. In general, one enantiomer is optically resolved from a racemic mixture. In this case there is a problem that the total yield of the desired compound is low.

The inventors have made a great effort to solve the problems described hereinbefore about a process for the preparation of optically active amino alcohol derivatives and intermediates thereof.

(TOYOBO Kabusiki Kaisya)].

Preferred vinyl ester derivatives of the carboxylic acid of formula (XLIII, R¹¹COOCH═CH₂) employed in this invention are different depending on the starting material, however they are typically a vinyl ester of a straight chain aliphatic acid such as the vinyl ester of n-hexanoic acid, vinyl ester of n-heptanoic acid, vinyl ester of n-pentanoic acid, vinyl ester of acetic acid or the like; and the most preferred one is the vinyl ester of n-hexanoic acid.

When the compound of formula (I) has a basic group such as amino group, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be prepared by the reaction of compound (I) with an acid. When the compound of formula (I) has a carboxy group the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be prepared by the reaction of compound (I) with a base.

The preferred salts based on a basic group include a hydrohalogenic acid salt such as a hydrofluoride, hydrochloride, hydrobromide or hydroiodide; an inorganic acid salt such as a nitrate, perchlorate, sulfate or phosphate; a lower alkanesulfonic acid salt such as a methanesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate or ethanesulfonate; an aryl sulfonic acid salt such as a benzenesulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate; an organic acid salt such as an acetate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, citrate, ascorbate, tartrate, oxalate, maleate or the like; an amino acid salt such as a glycine salt, lysine salt, arginine salt, ornithine salt, glutamic acid salt or aspartic acid salt and most preferably an organic acid salt.

When the Compound (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an ester thereof or other derivative thereof are allowed to stand so that they are opened to the atmosphere or are recrystallized, they may absorb water and water may be attached to them to form a hydrate.

The salts of the present invention encompass such hydrates.

The compounds of formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, esters thereof or other derivatives thereof have an asymmetric carbon (s) and can exist as optical isomer(s). In this invention a single optical isomer and a mixture of optical isomers are represented by the single chemical formula (I). The present invention encompasses the optical isomers individually and mixtures thereof in optional ratios. For example, the compounds of formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, esters thereof or other derivatives thereof have the following partial chemical formula wherein the —NR¹R² group is attached to an asymmetric carbon and the preferred absolute configuration at this asymmetric carbon is the R configuration.

In the above formulae the “ester” refers to an ester of a compound of formula (I) which has a group capable of being esterified. The ester includes the ester of a hydroxyl group and the ester of a carboxy group. Each ester residual group belongs to a general protecting group in chemical reactions or a protecting group capable of being removed by a biological process such as hydrolysis in vivo.

The “general protecting group in chemical reaction” can be cleaved by a chemical process such as hydrogenolysis, hydrolysis, electrolysis or photolysis.

The “general protecting group in chemical reactions” and the “protecting group capable of being removed by a biological process such as hydrolysis in vivo” in the esters of a hydroxyl group have the same meaning as that described above for a hydroxyl protecting group.

The “general protecting group in chemical reactions” in the ester of a carboxyl group preferably includes a lower alkyl group described hereinbefore; a lower alkenyl group such as ethenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, 1-methyl-2-propenyl, 1-methyl-1-propenyl, 2-methyl-1-propenyl, 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 1-methyl-2-butenyl, 1-methyl-1-butenyl, 3-methyl-2-butenyl, 1-ethyl-2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, 1-methyl-3-butenyl, 2-methyl-3-butenyl, 1-ethyl-3-butenyl, 1-pentenyl, 2-pentenyl, 1-methyl-2-pentenyl, 2-methyl-2-pentenyl, 3-pentenyl, 1-methyl-3-pentenyl, 2-methyl-3-pentenyl, 4-pentenyl, 1-methyl-4-pentenyl, 2-methyl-4-pentenyl, 1-hexenyl, 2-hexenyl, 3-hexenyl, 4-hexenyl or 5-hexenyl; a lower alkynyl group such as ethynyl, 2-propynyl, 1-methyl-2-propynyl, 2-butynyl, 1-methyl-2-butynyl, 1-ethyl-2-butynyl, 3-butynyl, 1-methyl-3-butynyl, 2-methyl-3-butynyl, 1-ethyl-3-butynyl, 2-pentynyl, 1-methyl-2-pentynyl, 3-pentynyl, 1-methyl-3-pentynyl, 2-methyl-3-pentynyl, 4-pentynyl, 1-methyl-4-pentynyl, 2-methyl-4-pentynyl, 2-hexynyl, 3-hexynyl, 4-hexynyl or 5-hexynyl; a halogenated lower alkyl group described hereinbefore; a hydroxy lower alkyl group such as 2-hydroxyethyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, 3,4-dihydroxybutyl or 4-hydroxybutyl; a lower aliphatic acyl-lower alkyl group such as acetylmethyl; an aralkyl group described hereinbefore; or a silyl group described hereinbefore.

The “protecting group capable of being removed by a biological process such as hydrolysis in vivo” can be cleaved by a biological process such as hydrolysis in the human body to afford a free acid or a salt thereof. Whether a derivative of formula (I) has such a protecting group can be easily determined. The derivative under investigation is administered intravenously to a test animal such as a mouse or a rat and the body fluids of the test animal are thereafter studied. If the parent compound or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is detected in the body fluids of the test animal, the derivative under investigation is judged to have such a group. The “protecting group capable of being removed by a biological process such as hydrolysis in vivo” preferably includes a lower alkoxy lower alkyl group such as methoxyethyl, 1-ethoxyethyl, 1-methyl-1-methoxyethyl, 1-(isopropoxy)ethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, 1,1-dimethyl-1-methoxyethyl, ethoxymethyl, n-propoxymethyl, isopropoxymethyl, n-butoxymethyl or t-butoxymethyl; a lower alkoxy lower alkoxy lower alkyl group such as 2-methoxyethoxymethyl; an aryloxy lower alkyl group such as phenoxymethyl; a halogenated lower alkoxy lower alkyl group such as 2,2,2-trichloroethoxymethyl or bis(2-chloroethoxy)methyl; a lower alkoxycarbonyl lower alkyl group such as methoxycarbonylmethyl; a cyano lower alkyl group such as cyanomethyl or 2-cyanoethyl; a lower alkylthiomethyl group such as methylthiomethyl or ethylthiomethyl; an arylthiomethyl group such as phenylthiomethyl or naphthylthiomethyl; a lower alkyl optionally substituted with a halogen atom(s) sulfonyl lower alkyl group such as 2-methanesulfonylethyl or 2-trifluoromethanesulfonylethyl; an arylsulfonyl lower alkyl group such as 2-benzenesulfonylethyl or 2-toluenesulfonylethyl; a 1-(acyloxy) lower alkyl group described hereinbefore; a phthalidyl group described hereinbefore; an aryl group described hereinbefore; a lower alkyl group described hereinbefore; a carboxyalkyl group such as carboxymethyl; and an amide-formation residual group of an amino acid such as phenylalanine.

When the compound of formula (I) in this invention has an amino group and/or a carboxyl group, such a compound can be converted to a derivative other than a pharmacologically acceptable salt or an ester described hereinbefore. The “other derivative” refers to such a derivative, for example, an amide derivative such as an acyl group.
